Its a 'hate' thing about Croker. I actually admire his efforts. But its a bit like Parker. Gives his all but just dosn't have the skills that make a top class hooker. He is afetr all a fair five ighth converted to hooker. He's improving, his defense is excellent and he's a good support player. Has characteristics I would think suit lock, but then I thought Parker would succeed at lock and we know how that went, so take no notice of that suggestion. Manly needs a nippy, quick thinking player with quick unpredictable service. I have been hoping Chan would fill the the requirements and he still may, but as yet we have no effective specialist in that position and it shows.

Maybe Simpkin should be given more of a chance? He was pretty good in the time he did play hooker for us…..& we were winning!!
